How SMU is moving on from its Hail Mary breakdown

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Three days later, and Chad Morris is still talking about the Hail Mary.

It's a hard moment for the SMU head coach to swallow. Up by one with three seconds left in the first half against rival TCU, SMU tried to defend the Horned Frogs' prayer of a pass. The one TCU receiver in the vicinity jumped to make the catch, the four SMU defensive backs did not. Morris considers the play one of four moments that swung the game out of reach for the Mustangs, who lost 56-36 to the No. 20 team in the country.
